Monday was not a good day for the Worldwide leader in sports. It all began earlier in the day when the network got duped by a fake tweet that came from a fake Adam Schefter account.

Things only got worse from there as ESPN announced several head coaches who lost their jobs after the 2020 NFL season concluded.

ESPN announced that Doug Marrone and Adam Gase had “parted ways” with their teams, but announced that Anthony Lynn got fired by the Chargers.

Social media made sure to call them out for their racial bias:

ESPN not slick with they word choice. Every white coach that got fired by his team got the “have parted ways” verbiage instead of fired https://t.co/dxpxDKkFhh
